8. Fisherman's Wharf... vacation, maybe 15 years ago. There was an abundance of Salmon that year.

Fishermen were given permission to sell their Salmon off their boats. You could buy a whole fish, about 20 pounds for $5.00. I recall seeing guys on bicycles, peddling away with Salmon sticking out of their backpacks.

Again, the fishermen were on the economic balls of their asses. $5.00 a fish.

So....
